"Principal Chen said this, and the little girl became more and more embarrassed." Xue Zhi's voice came, and he seemed to be a little calmer than Fang Cai.

Chen Ying turned her eyes and looked.

I don't know when, Xue Zhi has already wiped away the tears, and there is a faint smile on her white face, restrained, polite, and elegant, which is in line with her identity as the daughter of the official family.

She changed her sitting posture slightly, facing Chen Ying, and her voice was calm: "I came to Jinan this time to pray for the blessing of my deceased mother." It's just that in front of President Chen, I don't dare to hide it. To say a disrespectful word, praying for my deceased mother is just the reason I am looking for, and reporting to my third sister is my purpose. ”

Hearing this, without waiting for Xue Zhi to continue, Mother Liu immediately blessed Chen Ying, and said with a smile: "The slave has the courage to say a lot. Speaking of which, there is a thousand Buddha Mountain outside the city of Jinan, which is a treasure of feng shui, and the incense of Xingguo Temple on the mountain is very prosperous, and our girl is going there to pray for the first lady. ”

Xue Zhi glanced at her, but she didn't stop her from speaking, so Mother Liu took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said in a low voice:

"Mrs. Xian died last year, and by the end of April this year, it was a whole year. The girl was planning to worship, and happened to know the lady's plan, the girl was determined to come to wake up the third girl, so she said that she wanted to come to Jinan to pray for blessings. The lord and the lady agreed. ”

After a pause, he added: "Our lady is kind-hearted, and she specially brought a message to Uncle Zhongyong, and now the girl lives in the Uncle's Mansion." Because she was a guest, there were a few elders in the Bofu, so the girl did not dare to wear filial piety, for fear that the elders would be taboo. ”

Chen Ying bowed slightly.

Liu's mother's words can be regarded as clarifying the whole story, and at the same time, it also points out Xue Zhi's difficulties.

It must not be easy for her to come to the girls' school.

Just thinking about it, Liu Maguo continued: "It's not the slave who sells the good children for our girl, it's really our girl who is in a dilemma. In order to visit the third girl, the girl did not know how many famines she fought with the old lady, but fortunately, the girl's aunt and uncle were a person who understood. ”

At this point, Liu's mother bowed down and stepped aside, and said no more.

Chen Ying then understood.

It turned out that Xue Zhi's trip was still a favor from the wife of the loyal and brave uncle, Yu.

When it comes to seniority, the Yu family is Lu Wanyin's aunt, shouldn't Xue Zhi call her an uncle's grandmother?

Thinking about this, Chen Ying stared at Xue Zhi, and blessed himself in the seat: "I thank you on behalf of Master Xue." Your kindness must be understood by Master Xue. ”

In any case, it is undeniable that Xue Zhi reported the news in advance out of good intentions.

Xue Zhi turned sideways slightly, avoiding Chen Ying's salute, and her expression was solemn: "This is what I should do, and it is also what our mother and daughter owe to the third sister, if I don't come here, I can't get over it on my conscience." Even if I come, the kindness of the third sister to me, I will only repay it in case. ”

After finishing speaking, the corners of her mouth grinned slightly, and a bitter smile appeared: "I was in the quiet room, I thought about it for a long time, and I thought about it a lot, and finally figured out a truth. ”

She turned her gaze away, looked at the clouds and mist shrouded mountains in the distance, and said in a faint voice: "Don't hide it from Principal Chen, before coming to Jinan Mansion, I had already made a plan, first asked the third sister to escape, and then proposed to my wife that I would be a concubine for her, I ......."

"Girl!" Mother Liu exclaimed, her face turned white in an instant, and she hurriedly said, "You must not be like this!" Your wedding date is on the first day of June, you really want to do this, how can you be worthy of the hard work of the first lady? ”

She choked up as she spoke, and the handkerchief she had just put down pressed the corner of her eye again.

"Mom, let me finish, it's not too late to cry." Xue Zhi looked at her helplessly, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I said everything, this is my previous idea, but now I have changed my mind." ”

Mother Liu wiped her tears from her hands, and suddenly raised her head to look at her, both surprised and happy: "Is what the girl said true?" Have you really changed your mind? ”

"Hey, I've changed my mind." Xue Zhi nodded, and a very shallow smile appeared on her face: "After thinking about it, I knew that if I went for the third sister, I would only repay the kindness of the third sister, but my mother's nurturing grace and life were finally let down by me." I can't do such a big unfilial thing. ”

She turned to Chen Ying, and her smile added a bit of self-deprecation: "After hearing my words, Principal Chen is only afraid that I will say that I am greedy for wealth and wealth, and I regard the name of that lady of the head as bigger than the sky." ”

As if in order to accentuate her tone, she nodded vigorously, her smile faded, and her expression was serious: "If you think so, I will admit it, because in the final analysis, I actually don't want to be a concubine, and I can't give up the good family business that my mother decided for me before her death." I can't deceive you about this selfishness, but I have to tell you the truth. ”

Although she had known that she was soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and had a stoic temperament, Chen Ying was also quite surprised when she suddenly heard the words at this time.

Then, she sighed a little.

The so-called tribulation makes people grow, Xue Zhi and Xue Rui can get to this point, the heart is one thing, and the drastic changes must also be a major inducement.

"Now that the third sister has made a decision, I should do my best to help her, and also help myself." Xue Zhi said again at this time, her eyebrows gradually stretched, as if she saw hope.

"I'll go home tomorrow, and I'll want to put this matter on hold, and the reasons are ready-made. Now that he has not been removed, it is not good to talk about marriage. Then I came out of the cabinet, these two things were enough for them to be busy, and they couldn't take care of the third sister for a while. She said, her eyes flashing and her face shining again.

After a pause, she continued: "I have to protect myself first, so that I can marry a wife, so as to live up to the moral conscience of my mother's relatives and the name of my third sister." Second, when I got married, the third sister's injury also became scarred, and when someone came to the family, the third sister could push the scar onto the thief, so that she would not have to bear the charge of 'self-mutilation and disobeying her parents'. ”

Speaking of this, she finally looked at Chen Ying, and her eyes were keen: "Principal Chen, I will try my best to deal with her about the third sister, and I will not teach her to suffer this grievance." I also want to ask you here, please leave your third sister in the girls' school, and ask her to be a gentleman here, okay? ”

She looked at Chen Ying for a moment, and gradually, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, but the corners of her lips curled, and a peaceful and joyful smile bloomed:

"I'm afraid to believe it or not, in fact, I'm still a little envious of the third sister, she looks like now, I have never seen her in the mansion before. Sometimes I think that she is now may be what she is. ”

She sighed slightly, and her expression seemed to be emotional: "I watched her talk, watched her smile at the female disciples, so happy, so unrestrained. I never knew that the third sister was like this...... It's so good-looking. ”

When she said this, her eyes reflected a gloomy sky, clear and smooth, clean and sincere.
